Trade marks are nearly. as old as the
industry Of the human race. Ancient
Babylon had property symbols and the
Chinese claim to have had trade marks
1000 years B. G. Gutenberg, the in
ventor Of printing, had lawsuit about
a trademark, and won it. AS early as
1900, the English Parliament author
lied trademarks and the laws Of Am

The w. G. I. q. of Faribault appears
to distinguish itself from the great bulk
Of such organizations by a high degree
of common sense. It has founded an
evening school for the self-improvement
of employees and others, and closes it's
invitation to attend its school with the
following words: s.The future voters
and mothers of this great republic must
know how to read, write and cipher, or
the republic will not always be great"
Says the Chicago Herald: The
armed cruisers which Canada keeps
along it's coasts to drive off American
vessels which may wish to land are
called "the protection feet.'' To ac-
complish the same ends the Chinese
built wall around their empire more
than two thousand years ago. Here in
America we cover the same ground by
putting prohibitory taxes on imports
and delude ourselves with the idea that
it is purely a Yankee Doodle inven-

In a biographical sketch of Emperor
William of Germany, the New York
Tribune very appropriately remarks
that his greatest faculty as sovereign
has been sagacity in the choice of ad-
visers. The Tribune might have add
ed that, physically considered, Emper-
or William has had few equals among
the sovereigns of the world. The praise
bestowed upon his ssdomestic virtues"
which are said to be .'known among
men the world over" must be consid-
cred out of place by those who hold
that he who wears a crown should be
judged by the same standard as ordi-
nary mortals, so far as morality in pri-
vate life is concerned. Virtue engen-
dered by old age is an article of doubt

The following are the school holidays
as defined by the new law Christmas
day, first day of January, 4th of July,
Memorial day. Thanksgiving day. In
reckoning attendance, the standing of
no school is affected by reason of non
attendance upon any of the above days
whenever they occur within the school
term, as the attendance is to be report
ed the same as if school had been held
and ali had been present. This law, in
connection with the new apportionment
act. makes the country teacher master
OF the situation. Whenever your board
provesl refractory, just threaten to
keep school on the legal holidays oc-
curing within your term, and the trus.
tees will become as mellow as wax lest
they lose the apportionment on those
pupils who can reach the minimum at.
tendance of 40 days only by the strict
est observance of the legal holidays.
